Loss of hospital devastates Braddock

In the past half-century, Braddock has lost movie theaters, pharmacies, department stores, homes, thousands of industrial jobs and more than 80 percent of its population.

It hurts many communities. Loss of wage tax, hospital locality. When are we going to understand that UPMC does not care about about citizens. The bottom line is the only concern they have. They should not be considered a not for profit organization and pay taxes like the rest of us.

[Everybody wake up]

They are moving out because they were not making any money. The said it is better to go set up a new shop on the border of mexico than to be down braddocc

[LMAO]

I heard upmc was opening shop in Antartica! They said they are sure they will get more business than in braddock!

[Wow are you jaded]

People of Braddock, I agree that the loss of the hospital will have a negative effect on this community. But I think the problem lies deeper then a busness closing it's doors. The entire problem lies with borough leadership!! Ask yourselves what has Jesse Brown, Ella Jones, William Zachary, and the Deveiches done for this borough? The answer is simple my friends, Jesse Brown is a bully he throws his weight around in the form of the police department. Yes thats right if you are a store owner in this town you must pay Mr. Brown his personal tax or the next thing you known the police are ticketing your car, the code enforcement officer is issueing you a citation, and this continues until he gets paid! Ms. Ella Jones beleaves that Braddock Borough belongs to her she feels that she can do no wrong, isn't this true Ms. Jones? As for the others the question is do they even have brains for themselves or are they just an extension of the almighty Jesse Browns hand? The only thing these idot's do for us people of Braddock, is keep an depressed community in act 47, steal from the poor, and do whatever they can for personal gains!!! Where were you wonderful leaders when Silbermans left? Jimmy's Donuts, Gunthers, the Bank and so on?? People of Braddock fight for your hospital but you must also get rid of the leadership before are town will improve. Mr. Fettermen, Ms. Doose, Mr. Thomas I applaud your efforts and erge you to continue on with Braddock in mind but I do call you to action to help our town get rid of dirty government, I stand beside you in this effort!!!

[a loss to all]

Who really cares, braddock, N. Braddock and surrounding areas are nothing but safehavens for criminals, drug dealers, low life scum who are to lazy (or stupid) to work. Well Mr. Fetterman-lost that one didnt you, maybe you realise now that you and your tattoo's mean nothing. You demand that UPMC answer to you-you got your answer.

Mr. Fetterman had nothing to do with this! Are you classified as an idiot? Or, are you one of the low life that you talk about? UPMC does not care about the Mon Valley in any area. The area has many good people that work and have worked very hard in their lifetime. The are honest and trustworthy. The area does have people that are not goood, name me an area that does not!
